i also want to apologize to vic's van for not doing a hooptylau sing-a-long at our house. we were under the assumtion that you had sang the song in the van because that is what we did. so i'm sorry you missed out on that.

thanks for the reminder tikivixen! i forgot to say thanks on chesters (that's our cat) behalf for all of the attention he received in the "VIP" room. he really enjoyed it!

i will post some pics of the dark marq room in locating tiki in the coming days.

thanks again to everyone. we had a great time and look forward to future events here at the dark marq!

Great pictures, Humu. That really helps fill in a lot of the gaps from the night for me and others I'm sure. (Look, Jab! You really did go back to Minnie's!)

With your permission, here's my favorite sequence of pictures:

Arrival at the Dark Marq room. As you can make out in the back, the drunks begin to circle the bar....

One of the drunks begins sniffing around the bottles....

The bottles please the creature.

They begin to mark out their territory

The drunks on the left have staked out positions of dominance and cling to the bar with resolute determination, while the drunk in the back continues to sniff around the paper goods. Seeing the death grip on the bar, the drunk on the right begins to circle nervously, looking for a place to nest...

...but is greeted with a snarl from the drunk in the back who sensed a threatening presence. Drunk on the right flees! Meanwhile, center drunk begins to press his fingernails into the handrail.

Safely in position, the drunks become entranced with the movements of the native drunk, who explains the rituals indigenous to his territory.

15 minutes later

40 minutes later

1 hour later.

Center drunk's death grip has now snapped a section of bamboo bar rail off and holds it as a weapon in his crossed arms, perhaps eyeing new drunk on the right.

2 hours later.

Now sufficiently lubricated, one of the drunks launches into a ritual dance, or "drunk fu".
